Semua Bab The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Bab 1711 - Bab 1720

Felix said, "It's a pulmonary affliction."After checking Katie's pulse, Felix finally understood what illness had taken hold of her. The lung disease was extremely rare. With silver needles, he could have cured it immediately. But now, Felix could only treat the illness with herbs, which made things somewhat troublesome. "I can read pulses. It seems Kirk learned more than just herbal knowledge from his grandfather. He must have learned diagnosis as well. Does this mean Kirk's grandfather was also a master healer?" Since Kirk had given him this life-or-death test, he definitely wouldn't let Felix cheat—which made total sense. It would require Felix to develop abilities Kirk once possessed, and Felix would have to figure that part out on his own. Though he felt he was making some progress now, perhaps surrendering to Chester had been the wise choice. Yet he couldn't be sure about it. If he had chosen to stand firm against Chester, he wondered what opportunities might have app

Benny led Felix to a room. Nobody was in there. Benny then said, "Wait here a moment. The manager will be here soon. Since I took your money, I'll definitely deliver. The manager of Banilor Clinic is Rodney Madden, so feel free to ask around if you don't believe me. "Unless the elder, Mr. Pedro Goff, speaks up, all matters are basically decided by Mr. Madden." Felix nodded with a smile. He had naturally done his research before coming. The manager was indeed Rodney Madden, though his reputation was mediocre. He only became the manager of Banilor Clinic because he had worked under Pedro for the longest time. After a while, Rodney entered. He appeared to be in his 50s, with a shifty look about him. Benny said, "Mr. Madden, this man is a distant relative of mine. He wants to work at Banilor Clinic. Would you take a look at his application?" Rodney gave a cold laugh but said nothing as he sat down in his chair. Then, he waved his hand dismissively. "Take him away. Banilor Cli

As the pharmacy supervisor, Pauline wouldn't have held that position without genuine skill. Even Rodney had no right to decide who filled critical roles—Pedro personally interviewed candidates for those positions. After all, the slightest error in these matters could be fatal. So of course Pauline understood exactly what it meant for Stardust Sprout and Azuremist Thistle to be brewed together. Just as she was about to stand up, something struck her, and she turned to Felix. She asked, "Can you actually identify the smell of these two herbs brewing together?" Felix nodded. At this point, he couldn't afford to hide his abilities, though he also couldn't reveal everything. "I studied herbs with a traditional medicine practitioner before. The smell seems familiar, and I know these two herbs together create a deadly poison. After thinking it through, I felt I should bring it to your attention." Given what he had said, Pauline couldn't brush it off. She went straight to the counter

Felix knew that this was his chance to prove his worth, so he immediately followed Pauline. The truth was, he had no clue what he should be doing right now. His first priority was getting Katie healed; then he'd figure out the rest. The test Kirk had given him and the so-called "choice" he had to make made no sense. He could not figure out when or how this would all end. Upon reaching a deserted part of the courtyard, Pauline stopped and pulled Felix close, whispering, "Mr. Goff does want to see you, but I suspect the person you'll meet probably won't be him." Felix was puzzled. "Ms. Cormick, I don't quite understand what you mean." After checking around one more time, Pauline leaned in and lowered her voice even more. She said, "Sonia is related to Clarence Harrell, Mr. Goff's second apprentice—so good luck with that. This is all I can do to help you. As for whether he'll blame you for his cousin getting fired, I have no idea." Pauline felt bad for Felix, so she told hi

Everyone present was terrified; even the two bodyguards were at a loss for what to do. If anything happened to Claire, Tasha would absolutely lose her mind. Felix had already run over to Claire. He had been watching her while imagining that if Nerissa had given birth to a girl, she would probably be about this age by now. Felix rushed behind Claire, wrapped his arms around her from behind, and suddenly began to apply pressure. Anyone from Earth would recognize this action immediately—he was doing the Heimlich maneuver. The reason was simple. Claire had been eating candy, and the current situation was clearly caused by a piece stuck in her throat. Meanwhile, Tasha and Clarence rushed over. When he saw Felix making such strange movements, cold sweat broke out all over his body. "Felix! What are you doing? Let go now!" he demanded.Almost as Clarence was speaking, Felix applied pressure a second time. In the next moment, they saw Claire spit out a piece of candy that fell to th
